We encourage open exchanges of ideas, especially those that take place in our regular face-to-face meetings, while we all promote a greater sense of community for us local "node-monkeys" and "pixel-lovers."

New CCK node type input form needs to have embedded Biblio input form
A new content type, call it typ1, has an input form that needs to have an input form for 3 or more fields from the Biblio module (recent release last week exposed fields to view - or use old biblio input form). Now, the typ1 input form needs to have multiple biblio references, from 2 to 5 of them. I'd like to use CCK's multiple mode as well. I'm willing to code the override node-form-*.tpl.php, and I suppose I would use the function drupal_get_form? (found at http://thedrupalblog.com/embedded-cck-node-form-collapsible-fieldset).
uploading an image with embedded blanks does not display image
D6 with latest modules installed via drush about 5 days ago.
I traced the issue to the cache folder not having the image there. The uploaded filename has it embedded blanks preserved by Linux (gentoo) as I found them in the imagecache subfolder tree. But the other images that were suppose to be generated were not found, but those image filenames with no blanks worked fine.

Hi,
We have a simple request:
Our site lets users attach photos to their profile.
Using: content_profile, filefield, imagefield
We want to moderate or approve each image before it is displayed. The profile will always display, but the theme will filter out any photos that don't have the approval flag set.
I've had two ideas:
1) Use imagefield_extended to added an "approved" checkbox to each image.
2) Use the status field in the files table (set approved pictures to something unique like 999)

Can't seem to remove the "submitted by admin" line
I'm trying to remove the "submitted by admin" line associated with the Gallery Assist node, but can't seem to find how to do that.
I've gone to the theme configuration to attempt to turn it off for various content types, but it doesn't work. I've searched through the page.tpl.php to look for the statements that would write the "submitted by line", but I can't seem to find and affect it.
I have attached a png screenshot showing the page with Devel activated displaying the relevant information.
Mac users: what do you use to create password-protected zip archives?
A client wanted to send over some confidential information and was wondering how to password-protect a zip file. Incredibly, I couldn't find any graphical zip archive utilities for OS X that encrypt files, work in Snow Leopard and are free. 7zX claims to do this but it has some scary user-submitted reviews. Zippist looks promising but it doesn't seem to work in Snow Leopard. I actually use Path Finder or the command line for this, but it's unreasonable to ask most clients to do the same.
